II candidates were proposed and elected
at supposed special meeting of Hose
Company No. /, without any notice Of
such meeting being given 20 regular mem
bers OF such company, then the meeting
and election is illegal and such candidates
cannot legally be given a certificate Of
membership.

W. AUSTIN WHITISc.
A recommendation from Mr.. Henry
Smith, Chairman Of Election, was dis
tributed among the members. 1t con-
I cludes by saying that certified member
OF the department who is in good stand
ing is entitled TO all the privileges
which the laws regulating the depart
ment grant TO its members" therefore
he should have a voice in the matter Of
choosing the executive officers OF the de-
partment.
Chief Wilson said he was not fighting
for sharp practice, but for the rights OF
tiremen OF many years standing. The
Hose Company had picked men up out /
OF the streets. For instance, one mem |
Der elected was cripple, sixty-fve /
years Of age. Was he desirable?
Foreman Monsarrat-The person re-
ferred to was the street sprinkler, and
knew all the hydrants in town. He was
a useful member in that one respect, as
it was a difficult matter to find the hy-
drants.
Chief Wilson-Then sea faring men
had been elected, who were away from
town most of the time. This was not
Justice to old firemen. Some of the
of Pacific Hose Company had
paid no initiation fee; they just go in so
as to vote and get clear of taxes. He
,ook up the matter after advice, on legal
points.
Foreman MOnsarrat-With regard to |
he seaiaring men in the company, they
re engineers, and are in town a third of
he time. They had been found useful I
t times. All sorts of men belong to the =
department.. | think everything has +
een done fair and square, though l il
'as away at the time. l think the laws d
hould be rectfied, and that hose
ompany should have more men than a Il
fire engine company. u
Delegate Herrick-The sole reason of :,
he illegality of the election was because "

FILL THE LISTS.

Lists have been opened at several points
In the city for subscription pledges to the
Suffer Fort fund. The people ought to
come up promptly and guarantee the
small sum to be raised. Let it be under
stood, once for all, that the way to beautify
and improve this city is to begin the work.
Every one able should do his share,
and do it at once. 1t will pay, appreciate
property, stimulate business, augment the
sense of pernanency and help along the
BOOM" The "Hoine" for the widows of
soldiers ought to be located here; and it
can be secured by little energy and pub
lie spirit The people of this city are
able to do hundredfold more than is now
asked OF them. Every dollar they thus
invest will return to them, if the matter is
viewed from purely selfish standpoint.
But there is something more than this.
There is the pride every man takes in
adding to the attractiyeness of the town
he chooses for his home; there is the ad-
dress to the eye, the qualification of the
taste, the pleasure one takes in beautiful
objects, fine buildings and handsome sur
roundipgs. We trust to-day will see the
Sutter Fort fund list filed, and more.
There are but two days left in which to do
whatever is to be done.

"From Atlanta to the Sea-"

1t was thlrty-one days after starting from
Atlanta before Sherman re-opened commu-
nication with the North In that time he
had destroyed two hundred miles of rail-
road, and broken up every connection be-
tween the Confederate forces east and west
of Georgia. He had done more than hun
dred million dollars worth of damage,
consumed the corn and fodder, as well as
the cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry of a re-
gion three hundred miles long and sixty
broad, carried away ten thousand horses
and mules. and liberated countless num-
bers of slaves. Sixty thousand men and
thirty-five thousand animals had been
abuDdantly fed, and when the troops
reached the coast they needed no provisions
but bread. They started with five thousand
head OF cattle and arrived with ten thou
sand. The teams were in splendid condi.
ton, and not wagon was lost on the road.
The army had captured so many horses
that Sherman ordered them to be shot, be-
cause it demoralized the troops to ride.
The success of the campaign was equal
to its daring, and although its dangers
proved less in reality than in anticipation,
the skill of the commander and the cour.
age OF the men are none the less to be adj
mired. The romantic character of the
! march is unsurpassed. That an army
should disappear from sight for a month,
marching unframed through hostile re-
gions, its whereabouts unknown to its
friends, and emerge at last as if out of a
wilderness, with undiminished numbers
and increased renown, is a circumstance
that equals in interest any in history; and
so long as American boys and girls read
the account of the nations achievements,
they will find no chapter more fascinating
than that which tells of Sherman's March
to the Sea-General adam Badeau in 81.

Jake Sharp will be the next New York
boodler to be tried.

ALL the evidences now developing JUS
tify the judgment this journal reached
when the news was first published of the
settlement of the Afghan border question,
that England made an egregious blum
der. When she consented to the advance of
the boundary line below the Khoja Saleh
Ferry on the Oxus, named in the original
agreement, she practically withdrew from
in front of the Russian advance upon
Herat. If the Car does not improve his
opportunity it will be one of the amazing
mistakes of his reign. There is but one
course open for Great Britain if she does not
desire to have the Cossack quartered in
Herat and the English rule In India put
under Russian menace. She must withdraw
from her agreement.
